Chapter 2182 There Is No if in the World
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu still live in Bai Mansion, along with Bai Yi and Bai Er.
Now everything in the mansion is decided by the princess, who treats them very courteously. Of course, the mansion is holding a funeral, so Gu Xin and the others didn't bother them.
Bai Shijun was taken to the prison of Taizhou Prefecture. He was to be escorted back to the capital for treatment. Bai Er's wife had a serious illness, and she was still listless until the funeral of King Donglin.
The date of the funeral of King Donglin was chosen on May 18th. The mansion was not short of money, and the body of King Donglin had been kept in an ice coffin.
At Bai Shijie's place, the Crown Princess and Zheng Wei discussed and chose a time earlier than the date of King Donglin's burial, and Gu Xin also attended the funeral.
At that time, in addition to Zheng Wei and Yu Ge'er, there were also brothers and sisters at home, servants, and Zheng Wei's younger brother from her mother's family who came from the capital.
In addition, there were classmates that Bai Shijie had met during his years of study, as well as a few good friends.
After Bai Shijie was buried, it was Bai Laoer's turn.
No one attended Bai Laoer's funeral, and no one was there to carry the spirit tablet. In the end, the princess forced Bai Shiqi from the fourth room to carry the spirit tablet for Bai Laoer, the uncle. No one from the second and third rooms went to the funeral.
He Shi already knew that it was Bai Laosan who had been with her more in recent years, and Bai Laoer was with Jiang Shi from the third room whenever he had time, so she had no fluctuations at all about Bai Laoer's burial. She was only thinking about Bai Shijun now.
On the morning of May 18th, before dawn, the funeral procession set off from the palace.
The eldest and second sons of the Bai family had both died. According to the order of seniority, Bai Laosan was the one who carried the spirit tablet. Then it was Bai Laosi and several grandchildren.
Bai Shijun did not come. He had killed the person. Since he had done it, of course he had no regrets, and he had to come to send him off for the last time.
Although the people of Da Zhou emphasize returning to their roots, the title of King Donglin was hereditary. He had promised that his descendants would be in Taizhou, so he had moved his parents' graves to Taizhou and chose a mountain as the ancestral grave of their palace.
King Donglin's coffin was closed at noon. Gu Xin sighed as she watched the coffin close.
To be honest, there are very few princes like King Donglin who have no ambitions, are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and know the current affairs in Da Zhou.
Maybe he really lacked discipline for the children when they were young, which made the twins grow crooked.
Also, if King Donglin and the princess drove away the peasant girl, if Bai Laoer had not known about this, Bai Laosan might not have completely abandoned himself, and there would still be a glimmer of hope in his heart, and some things that should not have happened would not have happened.
However, there is no if in this world, and many things can never be redeemed.
Gu Xin and the others did not follow the Bai family down the mountain, but left alone. Gu Xin talked about Zheng Qiu's half-sister and half-brother.
"Xiao Qiu, I guess Madam Hou will come to the palace to live for a while! Are you worried about seeing her?" Gu Xin asked.
"No worries! But I don't plan to see her. It's best if she's not in the capital, so I can find a chance to see my brother." Zheng Qiu said in a good mood.
She also heard what Zheng Wei's brother said when he comforted Zheng Wei, that their parents would come to Taizhou in a few days, and they didn't come this time because they had something to do.
